Join us for the reception celebrating Sazon y Sabor in the Art Lab.

The theme of this exhibit is “Sazon y Sabor”, which means seasoning and flavor. The motivation for this installation is to celebrate Latino heritage cooking, as well as acknowledge the strength and determination to endure adversity, which is an essential component in a Latino household.

Cooking is part of a daily ritual, which is exercised now more than ever as we experience a pandemic such as COVID-19. We have all been impacted by lockdowns, illness, loss, food and job insecurity. It is through the resourcefulness, creativity and strength of our community that we find constructive ways to cope- such as cooking. It allows us to shift from being in our heads full of worry, anxiety and fear to healing, nurturing and protecting. In the Latino community, seasonings composed of herbs, spices, and an array of different ingredients create flavor and invigorate as well as uplift families and our community. Cooking becomes a celebration of life.
